1t can readily be believed that the
Northern Democratic leaders have
called a halt on the Georgia Legis-
lature in the matter of the Glenn
Color-line School bill, as it is re-
ported they have done. No meas
ure introduced into Southern leg
islature during the past ten years
has produced SO profound an I'M
preston in the North as has the
proposition to condemn to the chain
gang men aud women who teach
white children in colored schools or
colored children in white schools
Expressions of opinion against the
measure in Republican papers have
been decided, but in bitterness of
tone they have been far exceeded
by the Mugwump papers. The
Springfield Republican characterizes
the bill as piece of backwoods
barbarism." The Boston Herald de.
clares that it can not see redeem
ing feature IN the measure, and
other papers are equally emphatic.

THE RAILROADS TO BLAME.

The repeated accidents on the
railroads, attended with such fear
full loss of life, should open the eyes
of the officials of the roads and the
lawmakers of the country, that
some precautionary measurs of safe
ty are demanded under a criminal
penalty. Csrelessness and miser-
lyness are much to blame. The ter
rible accident last week might have
been prevented by common sense in
outening the fires that burned in the
grass close around the bridge, or by
the employment of a bridge watch
man at 90 cents q day. But the
conduct of the management as
shown by the investigation was
heartless.
The railroad people seem to have
done practically nothing. Men from
Chatsworth, who worked all night
at the wreck, were refused passage
on the train going back to the vii.
lage, and had to tramp home in a
half.fainting condition for want of a
bite to eat. 1t seemed to take the
railroad four hours to get an engine
ready to drag car to or from the
village, and the only person allowed
to ride were railroad officials. The
people there are very bitter against
the railroad company, and say that
the officials, whether from the de
moralization or excitement or from
absolute pig-headedness, acted
most inhumanly in many cases and
treated the wounded most shameful
~ all round.

The conduct of Judge Newman,
of Shenandoah, Va, in the Riddle
berger affair, ref ects no credit upon
him, neither personally nor officially.
The Judge aud the Senator have a
long standing personal difference.
Jones, an insane client of Riddleber-
gers, was acquitted of misdemeanor
on the ground of insanity. That
night he got drunk and paraded the
streets with a placard to the effect
that he, the jury, lawyers and court
were insane. The Judge had Rid
dleberger summoned on the charge
of contempt, decided the case him
self, gave the lawyer no chance for
defence, and sentenced him to Jail
for five days for contempt, and five
days for resisting an officer. A mob
rescued Riddleberger the first night,
the next day he voluntarily returned
and served out the five days for con.
tempt. His friends, the lawyers and
prosecuting attorney, appealed the
Court to remit the five days SEN
tence for resisting an officer, as it
was doubtful charge, and being o
criminal offence, the accused could
not be denied hearing and trial,
besides the dignity of the Court had
deem maintained. The Judge refus-
ed the petition anda hearing, ad-
journed Court and went off on
pleasure trip. The Senator was re,
leased pending further proceedings,
the physicians having decided that
he was in a dangerous physical con.
dition, and not in o healthy mental
state owing to the excitement.
Court dignity and individual self
honor and respect should be preserv-
ed, but it should be by calmness, pru..
dence and dispassionate feeling. 1t
should reflect honor, dignity and
generosity. The exercise of extreme
measures should not be in haste and
anger but after due deliberation,
and with every allowance for doubt
and defence in favor of the offender.
The greatest men are the most mag
unanimous. The grandest charac-
tiers are those that have conquered
self and passion, and whose minds
the promptings of enmity never
reach. The meanest minds and
the most Insignificant manhood are
those that study revenge. The
petty struggles for personal infiu.
ence and political power that we see
around us, are not SO much efforts
at selfelevation and a desire to do
public service, as they are to avenge
private injuries and reward a ser.
vile following.

Providence Railroad had settled
claims reaching $4,000 on the
Bussey Bridge disaster, where the

Chatsworth, and the total cost of
that one weak bridge will be over

A careful estimate has been made
by officials connected with State
Attorney Grinnsll's Office in Chicago
as to the amount of money stolen
by the Cook County thieves in the
two years from September, 1886.
Not less than $3.50, 600 was stolen in
1875, and fully $4,000 IN
1885-'86. The total is estimated
at 100000 for the two years.
The tax levy for county purposes
for the same period was $2,500,0O0
81, 100000 for 1SS4-'85 and ST..
500, 900 for 1SS5--'S6. The stealing,
according to the estimate, amount.
ed to forty per cent. of the levy in
both years.
